SIOE

SIOE (Simple Is Opposite of Easy) is an automated song remixer. Drag and drop an audio file into the program and generate two new sounds.

  • Short Sound: condense a song into a simple percussive, supercut-like sound
  • Long Sound: hear the process of development

SIOE app and SuperCollider patch are free and available to download. Please give proper credit if you use it in your project. 

ISJS

ISJS stands for I-Shim-Jun-Shim (이심전심, 以心傳心), a Korean word for “communicating through the hearts,” or in my interpretation, “empathy.” Featured sounds are recordings by collaborators, students, and family members. I often communicate with them without saying a word. The usual medium to do so is music, but sometimes it is a nod, smirk, sigh, eye contact, or eating in silence. You know.

Performance Instruction

A mouse is a sole instrument for ISJS. Improvise the mouse cursor position in three different types of motions for rehearsal and performance.

  1. Pause: Stay in one position. Focus on presenting a recognizable rhythmic pattern
  2. Linear: Move from one point to another in a straight line. Focus on presenting a single predictable change, such as change of timbre or increase in loop duration
  3. Random: Move randomly. Focus on presenting unpredictable, abrupt gestures

Take freedom in the speed of the movement. Find coordinates of the Pauses that would work well. End in a Pause position

ISJS is a part of Computer Music Practice Examples Project.

RMHS

Remove Music, Hear Sound. There are many things to hear within a single sound. There are more than melody, harmony, or rhythm that one can listen to and ponder.
Tracks in RMHS feature eight sounds made from an algorithm. Feel free to contact the artist if you want a version with different length, interval, or fundamental frequency.
